This paper investigates the terrain classification and the wind characteristics of the strong wind defined in the building wind code. Since the nature of complex terrain and city types in Taiwan are quite different from those in US, the terrain classification in the current building wind code may be different from ASCE7-02. Therefore, it is most urgent that these distinct local characteristics are accurately reflected in the building wind code. Based on the literature review and comparative study on several national wind codes, a set of classification standards for the terrain categories is proposed. The data analysis procedure for the random in-situ data is also introduced. Results from the field measurement indicate that the mean velocity gradient obtained from the field is higher than expected and the absolute mean wind speed cast only minor effect on the turbulence. Based on the in-situ data, a set of turbulence parameters and empirical Harris-Karman type spectra are recommended. |
